FINAL WINNER: Bad Bunny wins album of the year

A very emotional Bad Bunny has won album of the year for Debi Tirar Mas Fotos.

The singer sat in his chair covering his eyes for a good 15 seconds after being announced the winner, before being handed the award by Harry Styles.

He delivered majority of his acceptance speech in Spanish but had this to say in English: “I want to dedicate this award to all the people who had to leave their homeland, their country, to follow their dreams.”

Billie Eilish and Finneas win song of the year

Billie Eilish and Finneas have claimed song of the year for Wildflower.

Eilish cut straight to it: “As grateful as I feel, I honestly don’t feel like I need to say anything, but that no one is illegal on stolen land,” earning a standing ovation.
